Below are some of our most frequently asked questions. If you can’t find the answer to what you are looking for, feel free to reach out to us with any inquiries.

Do Mouse Books contain abridged works?
The selections vary from text to text. Many works are included in their entirety, especially short stories like Herman Melville’s Bartleby or James Joyce’s The Dead. Other books contain key selections from larger works. For example, for our edition of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s Brothers Karamazov we chose two long chapters: ‘Rebellion’ and ‘The Grand Inquisitor.’ In cases like these, the sub-stories within a large narrative stand nicely on their own. In rare cases, such as Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, we sampled various letters throughout the text, which were taken from different parts of the book, but flow nicely when read together. The goal is to get access to the core elements of storytelling of the author. If you find that you like a smaller episode that is part of a larger work, get your hands on the full book.
